Oh man, they might even overturn this and then they'll be surely down 17-3 at half...

Extremely lucky fumble recovery, but this defense is AWFUL. I can't believe that Wanny is worse that George Edwards, but he is. I really can't watch this nonsense much longer.

Sadly, we will see and I don't think it will be pretty.

I read the link, but I wonder if they left out the word "not" as in the Bills' announced late in the 2nd qtr that Spiller would not be back.

And the injury curse continues...

Oh man, this offense is brutal without Spiller and Jackson.

This season is circling the drain quickly. No Spiller and no Jackson = No Offense. Fitz isn't good enough to lift the team on his own and the WRs are weak at best. Shame too, because the D seemed to be rounding into form a bit. However, but even very good defenses can't pitch shut-outs very often.

I WANT to believe that, but I think we saw 7 or 8 "worst" days to end last season, too. I am afraid that is a pretty bad trend that it is very hard to ignore. I hate to say it, because I want to root for him, but I believe last week and the last half of last season are more representative of his abilities than the surprising and uncharacteristic hot start that he had last year (which was fueled by a unsustainably high number of turnovers by the Bills' defense).

That is a very uninspiring class. I've already read some reports that the #1 prospect Barkley is a trumped-up noodle arm that looks good because he plays for a huge power house.

"in Madden, I'd have hit him square in the chops..."

What are you doing to turn Gailey on? Please leave him alone until after the game. He needs to concentrate.

We need a couple more weeks, then we can start calling for the immortal Tarvaris Jackson! Maybe they should go look at Donovan McNabb. If he isn't WAAAY out of shape, he couldn't possibly be worse than Fitz.

I don't think that the 3-4 was Nix' choice. It stemmed from the fact that they couldn't get a legit DC and had to settle for George Edwards who only could coach the 3-4 (and that was questionable, too). The choice to stay with Fitz can be pinned on Nix, though.

Of course, I think Fred Jackson is a good guy and don't wish for him to be hurt. However, with Fitz at QB, does it really matter. This offense is really really bad. No receiving threats other than SJ and he's above average - not great. Fitz is in the bottom 25% of starting QBs and maybe lower. I think we'll see a lot of Spiller for the rest of this year (and a LOT of losses). How very very disappointing that this defense has done absolutely nothing to keep them in the game.

Can we now agree that Fitz is nowhere near good enough? Maybe they can pull a trade for Colt McCoy. He can't be any worse. It really is extremely disappointing that the Bills' D didn't even remotely rise to the challenge and keep the Bills in the game. Gonna be a looooooooooooong season...

Oh, we SUCK!!!!

God, I hate being a Bills fan. This team is extremely poorly prepared and there is NO hope until they find a QB.

I'd like to think so, but if Roosevelt hasn't been in yet, that is a BAD sign for him. That (imho) means they think he is behind the bad players that they have been trotting out at WR since the starters went out 2:00 into the game.

Punt it back rather than letting Thigpen throw it.

I have nothing against Brad Smith, but no big loss. He is a guy that is bad at a lot of positions... He isn't good at QB, isn't a decent WR and is OK on special teams, but not great.

Whoever 46 is will not be on the team tomorrow.

I hope that Thigpen got his degree and is ready to embark on his non-NFL career. He is among the worst QBs that I have seen on the Bills and I go back to 1970.

There is no depth at WR on this team at all. Naaman Roosevelt is the 4th best WR here, but they will cut him because he doesn't fit their size ideal.

Spending this time with Thigpen at QB is killing any of these fringe offensive players chances of making the team.

Justin Rogers hasn't helped himself at all tonight. Interestingly, McKelvin should be pushing for a lot of playing time this year. He has had a very good preseason on special teams and defense. He isn't a shutdown corner, but could be a valuable player.
